Trailrider #896 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Too many people have watched Captain Kangaroo's puppet, Mr. Moose, and think the real thing is a friend. Never would let my daughters watch "Bambi" when they were kids! You want to pet or feed a "wild" animal, visit the Terry Bison Ranch on the Colorado/Wyoming state line. You get on a train and they give you pellets. The bison are pretty well conditioned to being fed from the train...NOT ON THE GROUND! You absolutely do NOT want to be on the ground with a buffalo (bison)...unless you are at least fifty yards away...with at least a .45-70 rifle!

Pat Riot Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I just learned that there are wild moose in Colorado. I didn’t know that. They almost had a news story about something that almost happened... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 That's just a whole box full of stupid- but it gets worse. Hit your favorite web search engine, look up 'bison selfie' and prepare yourself because you will find things like this in the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Summer of 1962 I worked as a dish washer in Yellowstone Park. You can't imagine the idiocy of the visitors. "Hey, Emma, take the kids and go stand by the bear so I can get some pictures." "Let's put Joey on one of the buffalo." Oh, look at the little bear cub. I think I'll go pet him." And scores more choices made by people who just didn't believe that the animals weren't tame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 As a child on a camping trip, travelling in Yellowstone, we were stopped at a "Bear Jam" where shi for Brains less than smart people, were hand feeding the bears. We watched a woman place her child on a bear's back, for a picture, then complain to her husband that the child was sliding off the bear's hump. My Father rolled the window down about a inch and told her: "LADY !! That's a Grizzly!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Sadly it's not just this country, but people in general. Remember the story a year or two ago of the guy in India who got mauled to death trying to take a selfie with an injured bear? Sometimes you have to wonder how these people managed to even survive into adulthood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I didn't see this, just heard about it. Back in the '60's two idiots were driving a brand new Corvette in Yellowstone. They though it the height of hilarity to drive quietly up behind a bear or two that wasn't looking at them, and then hit the horn. Poor bears (black bears) would take off running. So they snuck up behind this other bear, one with a hump, and hit the horn. Ol'' Ephraim went straight up in the air, spun around and came down on the hood of the 'Vette with both forepaws and raked them down the hood. Mind you, this was one of the fiberglass body jobs. The damage in 1960's dollars was probably hundreds of dollars. A park ranger saw the whole thing. He was laughing so hard and figured they'd had their punishment, so didn't issue a citation.
